Early the next morning, after having breakfast, Qin Wen picked up the letter written by the second elder, which contained a list with names and addresses where he lived.

The person I want to find first is the treasurer of the City Lord's Mansion, who lives on the street of the Drunken Immortal Building, Qin Wen took the letter and came to a deep mansion, and the family at the door saw that he was approaching the gate, so he looked at it, and when he saw Qin Wen wearing a monk's robe, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Qin Wen handed the letter to the family and said, "I have a letter from the second elder of the Qin family here, and I want to meet the treasurer. ”

The family hesitated for a moment, took the letter, invited Qin Wen to the concierge and said, "You wait here for a while, and I'll report it." After speaking, he walked to the back house.

After about half a pillar of incense, the family came back with the letter in his hand, and said a little coldly: "My lord went to the city lord's mansion today, you should come back in a few days." ”

Qin Wen asked suspiciously, "I wonder when the treasurer will come back?"

Jia Ding shook his head and said, "I don't know about this. Qin Wen had to put away the letter and walked out of the gatehouse, looked at the address of the next house outside the street, and walked along the road, this one was a little biased, but after inquiring about the pedestrians, he also found it smoothly, and soon after entering the gatehouse, Qin Wen walked out disappointed.

Five families in a row are like this, and the answers of the family are not the same, Qin Wen has already inquired about Xiao Er when he came out, today is the day of the city lord's mansion monthly holiday, and at this time he already understands in his heart that it is the people of these families who are unwilling to go to the troubled waters of the Qin family, the people are warm and cold, the world is hot and cold, Qin Wen doesn't care, so he walked directly to the barracks, which is already a letter from Zuihou.

When they walked to the door of the barracks, the guards standing guard outside asked, "Who are you? What are you doing in the barracks?"

Qin Wen opened his mouth and said, "I am a soldier of the Qin family, and this time I took the letter of the second elder to see Deputy General Liu. ”

After examining the cover of the letter, the guard pointed to a tent near the door and said, "Vice General Liu lives there, and he has a personal soldier outside the door, you will know as soon as you ask." ”

Qin Wen thanked him and walked into the barracks, and came to the tent under the watchful eyes of the guards, at this time a personal soldier looked at Qin Wen and asked, "Are you okay?"

Qin Wen took out the letter and said, "I have a letter from the second elder of the Qin family to General Liu here, and I will pass it on to you." ”

The soldier nodded, took the letter and walked into the tent, and after a while, the soldier walked out and said, "General Liu let you in." ”

Qin Wen thanked him, and then walked into the tent, and saw a big man in armor sitting on the top of the tent, with a pair of bright eyes staring at him, based on Qin Wen's speculation, he should be in the realm of Xuanshi, so he took a few steps forward, and then said, "Qin Wen greets the general." ”

Liu Zhun looked Qin Wen up and down a few times with a puzzled look and said, "You are Qin Wen, do you know what Qin Yue asked you to do here?"

Qin Wen knew that Qin Yue was the name of the second elder, so he nodded and replied, "I know, it's for the matter of my family's great elder." ”

Liu Zhun asked with a fierce look in his eyes at this time, "Then do you know what happened to your family's great elder?"

Qin Wen still said calmly: "I know." ”

Seeing Qin Wen's expression without the slightest hesitation, and his answer was neither humble nor arrogant, Liu Zhun nodded secretly in his heart, and said with a soothing face: "You come with me to the back tent." As he spoke, he stood up and walked out of the tent.

Qin Wen followed him to a small tent at the back, where a simple bed was placed, and the ground was covered with thick felt, Liu Zhun said in an easy-going tone at this time: "Sit casually, these days in the city is under military control, all the in-service generals have to live in the barracks, I will ask the guards to make you a glass of water." ”

Qin Wen couldn't help but be stunned by the change in his attitude at this time, Liu Zhun also knew what he was thinking, so he smiled slightly: "I just tested you just now, the second brother praised you to the sky, I see if you are really as calm as he said in the letter." ”

Seeing Qin Wenpan sitting on the felt, Liu Zhun also sat down opposite him, put the letter on a few cases, and then asked Qin Wen, "Before you came to me, how many houses did you leave?"

Qin Wen nodded and said, "There are five families in total, but none of them entered the door, and the family members all said that something went out." ”

Liu Zhun glared at this time, and opened his mouth to scold: "Fart, all of them are villains who forget their righteousness, or they are cowards who have no eggs, how did Brother Qin and Second Brother Qin treat them back then, a few Po Dan of the Du family bought their conscience, these villains, when this control is over, I will go out to settle accounts with them." ”

Qin Wen didn't expect that this general would be swearing as soon as he opened his mouth, but it was always the same in the barracks, so he silently didn't answer.

After saying this, Liu Zhun's face became gloomy, and he said to Qin Wen: "This time, Brother Qin's crime was planted on the ordnance, which was not a big deal before, with Brother Qin's qualifications as old as the city guard, just use the spirit stone to make up for the ordnance." ”

"But this time it was also your Qin family's bad luck, just encountered the defeat of Qingshitan, and a counselor from the military department came from the capital, saying that he was ordered to investigate the cause of this defeat, and just found out the ordnance, plus the Du family is fueling the troubles, and now even the city lord is a little embarrassed. ”

Seeing that Qin Wen had been listening carefully to what he was saying, Liu Zhun also knew that he wanted to get some information from his words, so he continued: "Brother Qin is now imprisoned in the military camp, and this is also the city lord's temporary protection of him, and it has not yet affected your entire Qin family. However, now the handle is in the hands of the counselor, and sooner or later it will be reported to the capital. ”

Qin Wen had already heard the reason from Liu Zhun's words, in the matter of the Great Elder's detention, the counselor of the military department was the key, as long as the counselor could be cleared, there would be no problem on the city lord's side, and the crisis of the Qin family would naturally be solved.

After thinking about this, Qin Wen asked Liu Zhundao: "General, when I came, the second elder asked me to bring some spirit stones, I don't know what kind of gift the counselor likes, I'll buy some for him." ”

Liu Zhun couldn't help but shake his head and said: "This is exactly what I am embarrassed about, when Brother Qin was just locked up in the barracks, I thought of a way, but it was very difficult to impress this counselor." ”

Qin Wen couldn't help but ask curiously, "Doesn't he have any special hobbies?"

Liu Zhun smiled bitterly and said: "Yes, yes, but we just can't afford this price, do you know how the Du family impressed him this time? A full five Xuan-level medium-grade spirit pills, this is also a big deal in Luming City, the Wang Dan Master of the City Lord's Mansion is already a Xuanshi lower rank, and he can refine these medium-grade spirit pills at most in a year, if it's just these, I think your Qin family can buy a few more spirit stones in Huatian Pavilion." ”

"But I'm just afraid that this Du family will send the spirit pill to him again, and now that we have more spirit stones, we can't compare with the Dan Dao family with the support of the spirit refining sect behind their Du family. ”

Hearing this, Qin Wen couldn't help but smile slightly, if other people really had no way to compete with the Du family, but this matter was not a difficult matter for him, he asked Liu Zhun at this time: "General Liu, if I can take out five pills of Xuan-level high-grade elixir, can this counselor end this matter of our Qin family?"

"Xuan-level top-grade!" At this time, Liu Zhun was shocked, and then looked at Qin Wen suspiciously: "Xiao Qin, aren't you joking, a Xuan-level top-grade elixir costs thirty or forty high-grade spirit stones, that is, three or four thousand medium-grade spirit stones, how many medium-grade spirit stones have only been produced in the two spirit stone mines of your Qin family over the years?"

Qin Wen has now refined a total of two furnaces of Xuan-level high-grade elixirs, one furnace was refined for Su Ruo in the cave, and the other furnace was just refined for Lao Gao a few days ago, after the practice of these two furnaces of elixir, although Qin Wen's Nine Turns Yanyang Recipe has not yet broken through the middle level of Xuantu, but with his rich experience in alchemy, as well as various subtle techniques, the probability of refining Xuan-level high-grade elixir is still more than ninety percent.

Qin Wen thought for a moment at this time and said, "The pill should take about seven days, do you think it's still too late?"

Liu Zhun pondered slightly: "In the past, I have also come to the capital to be a counselor or something, but they all left after a round of inspection, but this Counselor Zhao has been here for more than two months, and he has not heard any signs from the city lord that he is leaving, there should be no problem in terms of time, but Xiao Qin, can you really get a Xuan-level high-grade elixir?"

Qin Wen looked at Liu Zhun or the suspicious expression, and replied affirmatively: "There is absolutely no problem with the pill, I will prepare it now." ”

Liu Zhun nodded and said, "Okay, if there is anything you need help with, just say that your second elder and I are friends of life and death, so don't be polite when you come here." ”

Qin Wen suddenly remembered the matter of alchemy at this time, if he returned to the medicine valley for alchemy, not to mention the delay on the way, if it was more troublesome to meet the people of the Du family, he asked Liu Zhundao: "General Liu, do you know where the alchemy earth fire can be used?"

Liu Zhun thought about it carefully, and considered a few Dan divisions in the military camp in his heart, and then Zuihou settled down and said: "There is a ground fire in this military camp, but it is all assigned to the Dan division, and there is a Dan master surnamed Ji who has a good relationship with me, and it should not be a problem to borrow his earth fire for a few days." ”

Qin Wen nodded and said, "Okay then, when I go outside to prepare some elixir, I'll come back for alchemy." With that, he took his leave and left the tent.

Liu Zhun sent him out of the tent, and then turned around and exclaimed as if he had just woken up: "That kid just now said that he came back to refine the pill by himself, and he can refine the pill of the top grade of the Xuan level?"
